Two Nobodies | Stop Focusing on What You Can’t Control

Send us Fan Mail What if changing your life starts with changing the way you look at it? This week on Two Nobodies Who Know Nothing, Wes and Robert talk about perspective, gratitude, adversity, failure, and focusing your energy on the things you can actually control. Is it “I only have $10” or “I still have $10”? Is a setback simply something bad that happened—or is there something you can learn from it? The conversation gets into why negative comments can outweigh 20 positive ones in our minds, why perfection can keep us from taking action, and why sometimes the most important thing you can do is simply execute and keep moving forward. Wes also talks about the slow growth of his podcasts, nearly quitting, upgrading the studio with a second camera, and why continuing to show up matters even when things aren’t moving as quickly as you’d hoped. Later, they use examples from business and the NFL—including Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Patrick Mahomes, Sam Darnold and Drew Bledsoe—to explore opportunity, preparation, luck and what happens when your moment finally arrives. The takeaway: You don’t control every circumstance. You do control how you respond, what you learn from it, and what you do next.
